Having described these and other differences between contract management
and ordinary public management, we close this section with a brief consideration
of how government can be an effective and smart buyer. Following Kettl (b),
it is essential to recognize that contract management is a growing and important
form of public management. It has made for smaller government in the sense of
there being fewer employees. But it has not made government a smart buyer. Indeed,
a smart-buying government must have a somewhat different kind of bureaucracy,
one with many more frontline bureaucrats trained, hired, and rewarded
to do contract management
